Dec. >.—Mora than or Unary Interest was evinced In the last regular message of President Roosesalt to congress before his retlreme: from offlea next March, which wi rand simultaneously In tha aenata and housa. Tha document, which was temperate In tone and shout 20.000 words In length, reiterated the president's poll, des concerning corporations and other aabjects of prime Importance. He made •to mention of the tariff In dealing with corporations. President Roosevelt expressed the belief that It was worse than tolly U tempt to prohibit comblnatlona The Sherman anti-trust act. he said, workad almost as much hardship as good and he strongly advocated the substitution of a law that would expressly permit combinations which were in the Interest of the public, but wonld permit the national government ti ere Ire foil power of control and supervision over them. Publicity, he declared, should be the chief feature of government control over corporations and he recommend ed executive rather than judicial action In putting n stop to corporation Commenting upon the railroads, the president said they should be removed entirely from the domain of the antltrust law and plsCM completely under the Interstate commerce commission. He advocated Ucfcaslng the powers of this commission so that It could exercise supervision and control over the Issue of securitise as wen as over rates. The president favored traffic agreements between railroad cdhjnraMons and said power to make inch agreements should be explicitly conferred open the railroads, with permlss'on of the Interstate commerce commission and providing the details of the agreements were published to full Bummary of the Messsg*. A summary of the message le as follows: FINANCE—“The financial standing of the nation at the pretent time Is excellent, and the financial management of the natlonV Interests during the last seven years has shown the

react system Is imperfect, and It Is earnestly to, be hoped that the currency commission will be mbit to propose s thoroughly good system which will do sway with existing defects.CORPORATIONS—“1 believe It is worse that, folly to attempt to prohibit aU comblnatlona, as la done by tha Sherman anti-trust law, because gacb s law can ba enforced only Imperfectly and unequally, and Its enforcement workc si moat as much hardship as good. "I strongly advocate that Instead of ort to prohibit all com-

Sir Henry Hudson | who was an Englishman, was employed by the Dutch East India Company, renty men, and a clerk or historian, Robert Juct, the .hip sailed from Amsterdam, Holland, in April 4, 1609, with the idea of going to the northern coast of Norway. Btevens’ history says: “He sailed northward until icebergs drove him to turn the prow of his ship llie south. In July he reached Newfoundland, and later he explored the coast of Maine, and August he found himself in Ihe Chesapeake Bay. Bailing northward, on the 28th of the month, he entered Delaware Bay, w hich was called South Bay by the Dutch,and when barely escaping shipwreck ran the Half Moon inside the bay and anchored around the point of the Cape, probably opposite Town Bank. He spent a day In exploring about the Cape. • • • They sailed up along the bay side of the county for but i ncountering flats, w hich are common there to this day, turned back." Van der Donk says in his account: "The bay of the south River [Cape May] was the first place of which tha men of the Halve Maan took possession, before any Christian had been
